What changes in this conversion

  • GLB is a newer format — check that the software or device you are sending it to supports it before switching.
  • The geometry (vertices and faces) is converted exactly. Material, texture and animation data is only carried over when both formats support it — GLB keeps what it can and drops the rest.

How to use

  1. Add your STL file

    Drag the STL file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.

  2. Confirm GLB as the output

    GLB is already selected as the output format on this page. This format converts straight through with no extra settings.

  3. Run the conversion

    Press the convert button. Processing happens on your own device, so the time depends on your computer rather than a server queue.

  4. Download the GLB file

    When it finishes, download the GLB file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.

About these formats

STL STL 3D Model

The de facto standard for 3D printing, describing surfaces purely as a mesh of triangles. It cannot carry color or material information.

Commonly used for 3D printing, rapid prototyping

STL File format reference

GLB glTF Binary Model

The modern standard for web and real-time 3D, often called 'the JPEG of 3D'. It packs model, materials, textures, and animation into a single file.

Commonly used for Web 3D viewers, AR/VR, online product 3D

Frequently asked questions

Is converting STL to GLB really free?

Yes. STL to GLB conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.

Are my STL files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the STL file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.

Will the GLB file open everywhere?

GLB is a newer format. Current browsers and phones handle it, but older desktop software may not — keep the original STL if you have to send it to someone on an old machine.

Does the GLB file get bigger than the STL?

It can go either way. Both formats are lossless, so nothing is thrown away — the size difference comes from how each one packs the same data.

Is there a file size limit for STL to GLB conversion?

The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
